Finally, now I have my own DSLR camera. Thanks to my friend Hiero, who helping me to persuit my first DSLR camera. He brought me to one of the camera shops at Tutong town, Rose Photo Studio. Though it was a second hand, but I'm glad to buy the camera, since it was only 3-4 months old (the day the previous owner bought it), and with a very good price that been offered. The purchase was included the Nikon D60 body, kit lens (AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm VR), Hoya Circular Polarizing 52mm Filter and the Nikon bag.
